NSTimer and seg faults

Howdy all, first-time poster here. I'm pretty new to Objective-C and it's associated run-time environment, so I apologize if this is a total newbie question that has been answered before (I couldn't find anything, but I might not know where to look.)
My problem is this: I have an NSTimer which I set up in my NSView's - awakeFromNib method. Also in -awakeFromNib, I set create an NSDate object as part of the NSView. This all works fine. The problem is, when my timer fires, if I try to do anything at all with the NSDate object I created before, the program chokes. Here's the relevant portion of the code (I've stripped out what appears to be irrelevant; if anyone wants to see more, that's fine.)


BlobView.h:

@interface BlobView : NSOpenGLView
{
	NSTimer* updateTimer;
	NSDate* lastUpdate;
}

- (void) updateTimer: (NSTimer *) timer;

@end



BlobView.m:

@implementation BlobView

- (void) awakeFromNib {
	lastUpdate = [NSDate date];
	NSLog(@"%lf", [lastUpdate timeIntervalSinceNow]); // This works fine

	updateTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 1.0 / 30.0
		target: self
		selector: @selector(updateTimer:)
		userInfo: nil
		repeats: YES];
}

- (void) updateTimer: (NSTimer *) timer {
NSLog(@"%lf", [lastUpdate timeIntervalSinceNow]); // This produces a SIGBUS
}


@end
